Burn Your Bras, Lilith Fair Returneth

Sensitive pop songstress Sarah McLachlan is resurrecting the festival she put together in the late 90’s and putting it back on the road in 2010. So, get our your Birkenstocks and stop shaving your legs because Lilith Fair is back.

In 1997, Sarah McLachlan launched the all-female music festiival Lilith Fair — the top-grossing festival of that year and top-grossing female music festival of all time. While it was one for the record books — and featured artists including Natalie Merchant, the Pretenders, Fiona Apple and Sheryl Crow, among many others — McLachlan ended the touring fest in 1999. The singer-songwriter, however, just announced its return.

“We are happy to officially announce the long awaited return of Lilith Fair in the summer of 2010,” a statement read on McLachlan’s website. “Please stay tuned for more details on the festival and other Sarah news.”

McLachlan has admitted that the stress of the festival and the overwhelming publicity took its toll, but 11 years off seems to be enough. No word on line-ups or tour dates, but I’m fairly certain Paula Cole won’t be invited, unless “Dawson’s Creek” has a massive resurgence in popularity.

Note: This was written purposefully to be silly. If this were a metal fest, I’m sure I’m joke about spandex and cherry pie. So, please don’t think this is your chance to make really crude comments. They’ll just get deleted. Thanks.
